Generally by this point of the season, I am trying to trade players that are either injury risks or are playing so far above their previous production that I fear that they may slow down. Marcus Camby would fall into the injury risk category, while Chris Kaman would fit as a player whose production this season is significantly better than he has ever shown in the past. Camby and Kaman would both be near the top of any fantasy rater at the center position, with Camby posting dominant rebounding and ridiculous blocked shot numbers while Kaman matches the mega rebounding and also adds strong scoring to go with good blocked shots. So, if you had to choose just one or the other for the rest of the season, which would you pick?

When I first thought of this question I was leaning towards picking Kaman. He is younger and hasn't had the injury concerns that Camby has, so I would feel safer that he will play in more games in the second half of the season. Camby has missed at least 10 games in every season since the lockout in '99, and has missed an average of 16 games per year in his last four seasons. The fact that he has played in all 33 games this season feels like a ticking time-bomb for his fantasy owners that are waiting for the other shoe to drop.

But in the end, I find myself leaning towards Camby for one reason: Elton Brand. I am uncertain whether Brand will play this season, but if he does return for March and April Kaman owners will be faced with their primary center being relegated to the secondary post player on his own team. While I worry about Camby's health, at least I know that if he is on the court he should produce at an elite level. I would rather take the chance on having elite production in the playoffs from Camby if healthy as opposed to risking Kaman devolving to a lesser player next to Brand.

So give me Camby over Kaman. What about you?
